[Slackbuilds-users] upgraded python

[Eugen Wissner]

I have a Pyhton 3.12 SlackBuild:

https://git.caraus.tech/OSS/slackbuilds/src/branch/master/python3.12

I tried to submit it recently to SBo and my submission was rejected, because it would result in even move duplications in Python packages, so python2-packages, python3-packages, python3.12-packages. Maybe it would be possible to make all Python 3 packages depend on a newer Python 3 version provided by SBo and not by core Slackware.

There was a similar attempt to submit newer ruby version.

But, yeah, we’re not living in the world where programming languages are stable.

I know in the past I have seen newer versions of Qt on SBo. I installed python 3.14 quite awhile ago. It lives happily next to 3.9. I just modified the Slackware script but I could get it into, I think, the right form for submission here. If it wouldn't pass though I don't want to spend the time to do it.
